Every time a study comes out which shows that Christians show up with the same moral results as the rest of the world, I am stricken with how it shows the human ability to rationalize immorality is boundless. Consider this article which shows that teens who take virginity pledges (promises to refrain from sex until marriage) are only slightly less likely to avoid STDs than those who do not. Why? Because they break those pledges? Not exactly. Because they hear people like a certain ex-president indicate that oral sex is not sex, and thus rationalize that this and other similar activities are "okay". Sigh.
Yes, I am one who took one of those pledges. And yes, I have not broken it. Either with conventional sex, nor with oral sex, nor with the others. And yes, it has been HARD. And no, it is no credit to me. It is by the grace of God.
